Description
Led by Nobuo Hara, this Japanese ensemble delivers a refreshingly keyboard-forward take on their signature horn-driven sound. Fender Rhodes and organ textures anchor the arrangements, frequently stepping into the spotlight with inventive solo passages that shine particularly on Rhodes-led tracks. The material leans funkier than their typical output, with punchy low-end production that underscores the instrumental interplay. Standout cuts include "Nervous Breakdown," "Come Together," "Spinning Wheel," "Bouree," "Breit Kopt," and "Liberation"—each showcasing the group's evolved compositional approach and tighter rhythmic sensibility.
